Fall Out Boy is back from a five-year hiatus with a new album, Save Rock and Roll. The band is beginning a major tour that will include a Sept. 18 show at the First Bank Center in Broomfield, Colo., added after their show at the Ogden on June 23, which sold out in presales. Save Rock and Roll features 11 buoyant tracks and eclectic guest stars like Courtney Love and Elton John.

The entire album is available on iTunes for only $7.99, and it is more than worth the price. Save Rock and Roll is neither a half-hearted comeback album nor an over-the-top attempt to prove the band’s worthiness. Instead, Save Rock and Roll draws on the familiar Fall Out Boy elements of snarky yet insightful lyrics and dance-worthy rock beats to create a disc with such diverse appeal that there is something here for every listener.

The two music videos released off the album are also the first two tracks, “The Phoenix” and “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light ‘Em Up).” Both songs can be seen as symbolic of the band’s revival: like the phoenix, Fall Out Boy is rising from the ashes and suffers no lack of self-confidence. And the single, “Light ‘Em Up,” sets the mood for the album as a whole, by pairing strong beats with witty verse. While these first two installments are strong and clearly radio-ready, they give no hint of how artful the album will prove to be.

By the third song, “Alone Together,” listeners will know there is something truly special in Save Rock and Roll. If you want a song to sing along to, to bob your head and bounce your knee to, this is the album for you. “I don’t know where you’re going but do you have room for one more?,” leading man Patrick Stump croons, and the answer is a resounding yes. It is difficult not to be compelled by the twisted beauty of this paradoxical love song. This track is the first chance the audience has to hear what brilliant songwriters these Fall Out Boys really are.

The winning streak continues through songs four and five, “Where Did The Party Go” and “Just One Yesterday.” The former is definitely a song to dance to, filled with the “hey yahs” and “nah nah nahs” fans of the original Fall Out Boy will remember fondly. The lyrics are compelling and pull the audience in, with lines like “you and me are the difference between real love and love on TV.”

Track five, “Just One Yesterday,” features phenomenal backup vocals by UK alt-pop singer Louisa Rose Allen, of Foxes. This sound is almost mellow compared to track six, “The Might Fall,” which is more a blend of hip-hop and rock with catchy synthesizer beats. Number six may not be as good as the three songs before it, but it deserves attention all the same.

As far as the final five songs, it is impossible to choose favorites. Number seven, “Miss Missing You,” is a slow and beautiful anthem, perhaps the best off the entire album. With lyrics like “maybe you were my picket fence” Fall Out Boy is waxing poetic. “Death Valley,” song number eight, pales in comparison to the virtual genius of the other tracks, but despite its weakness compared to the rest of the album it is still high-quality alternative genre music.

Track nine, “Young Volcanoes,” is back to the chanting and clapping combination that is the signature of Save Rock and Roll, and fans of groups like Imagine Dragons will welcome the familiar sound. Lyrically, “Young Volcanoes” differs from the rest of the album, paying homage to friendship rather than to twisted love, but this contrast only increases the song’s value.

The penultimate tune, “Rat a Tat” (featuring Courtney Love) is a risk that pays off. While calling itself “one more off-key anthem…another bad poem,” in reality the song is a triumph. Intelligent references and metaphors are hidden amidst catchy beats, but listen closely to the lyrics and you’re sure to be impressed, and perhaps even persuaded to see their live show this fall.

Fall Out Boy ends Save Rock and Roll with the titular track, featuring hooks by Elton John. The lyrics are sincere and Stump’s singing is emotionally compelling. “You are what you love, not who loves you; in a world full of the word yes, I’m here to scream no,” Stump sings, achieving just the right mix of sincerity and ambivalence.

Save Rock and Roll is sure to satisfy lifelong fans looking for a residual fix of an old favorite and also to draw in completely new audiences. They certainly aim high with this album—and in the end Fall Out Boy delivers.
